Might wanna open up your page in Chrome and see the console for errors, then. — tekknolagi, Jul 15 '12 at 15:55

There is no need for jQuery. I'm only using it because it's easier to bind events with it:

$('#your-link').on('click', function(event) {
  event.preventDefault();
  document.title = 'The new title';
});

Also, out of curiosity, what have you tried?

$(document).ready(function(){
 $('a').click(function(){
  $('head title').text('HelloWorld'); 
 });
});

and might need html like this

<a href="#">Click here to change title</a>
